teen different varieties of saws, each one
Of which has its OWL peculiar size of the

teeth to each other. Flow important the,
thin saw blade is, not only as a means to
save power, but also as d means to save
wool, can be seen from the following: a

English Father and Spanish Mother.

An English father has light hair and

colored southern complexion. Clearly the
children may differ indefinitely in appear

lighter; some as men may grow dark

wavy hair like the mother, yet almost us
light in hue as the fathers; another may
have it rather straight, but dark. Simi-
larly, too, with the features The fore
head and chin may resemble the father.
and nose and mouth may rather approx
mate to the maternal pattern.
So, at least, we often say in our folly;
but, in reality, when We come to examine
closely we see that no single feature even
owes everything absolutely to one parent
only. Those dark eyes may indeed be
Spanish in color, with n gleam of bull
fighting in their cruel depths; but they
are set in the head after an English pat
tel and have m English solidity of Phil
istlnc hardness. That pretty little nose
